Chapter 17
"Ha, Kakarot, you sure as hell were holding back on me the last time we fought, I thought you weren't going to use Super Saiyan 3 on me this time huh?" Vegeta smiled.
Goku looked at him with a similar grin.
"Well Vegeta, you seem to be giving me trouble in the other forms, so I figured I'd try to keep up with you. And besides, your in Super Saiyan 3, I figured that we would test to see who's Super Saiyan 3 is stronger. Sound good?" Goku retorted.
"Fine with me clown, just hope that you being dead as long as you have been, didn't make you soft, and make me have to take it slow on you." Vegeta grinned.
Vegeta planted a low kick to Goku's side, then threw his other leg against him. Goku caught both legs and then started to swing himself around still holding onto Vegeta and spinning them both around. Vegeta not phased by this attempt to throw him grunted and then sat up as he was being spun, yelled and then punched Goku with as much strength as he could muster. Goku stunned at this surprise attack let go of Vegeta and closed his eyes as he tumbled back. Vegeta wasted no time, flew toward him and started to fling punches and kicks at his assailant. Goku righted himself and tried to block some of the attacks while trying to concentrate on keeping his own energy up. To Goku's surprise, Vegeta's Super Saiyan 3 was a lot stronger than his own when he first attained it, it was giving Goku a work out until he powered up again and went on his own attack. The burst in power stunned Vegeta at first and then he regained his composure and blocked all of Goku's attacks. Both fighters were smiling, and glaring at each other trying to see if they could find a weakness in the others fighting. Goku finally got a lucky shot and then slammed his forehead into Vegeta's knocking the Saiyan Prince off balance and throwing him back a few paces. Goku then used his Instant Transmission and put himself down on the ground a few hundred meters away from Vegeta. Vegeta looked forward expecting to see Goku getting ready to attack when he noticed that Goku wasn't in front of him.
"Hope you can handle this one Vegeta," Goku said as he got ready for his attack, "This one always ends up putting a weakness in my opponents armor"
Vegeta turned around to where Goku's voice came from and noticed what Goku was about to do.
"KAAAA," Goku shouted.
"No way Kakarot, your not going to pull that one on me, I'm well aware of your Instant Transmission Kamehameha. It won't work on me!" Vegeta warned.
"MAE," Goku's stance changed to his hands behind his back and his legs spread.
Vegeta powered up to full power and spread his arms and legs out to his sides. His body began to shake and the energy around him pulsed, little bolts of lightning surrounded his body as they did around Goku.
"HAME!" Goku shouted with a grin.
Vegeta then put his hands in front of him with his palms together, an energy ball appeared in front of his hands, electricity and energy flowing all around it.
"Ok, Kakarot, you use your final move, and I'll use mine! We will see who has a stronger attack!" Vegeta shouted then smiled as he struggled to put all his energy into his attack.
Goku shot his hands forward as he yelled out the last part of his chant.
"Hope your ready for this Vegeta!" Goku yelled, "HAAAAAA!"
Vegeta gave no response except his smile.
"FINAL FLASH!" screamed Vegeta as his attack left his hands and started an energy wave.
Goku's attack left his hands too as he let out the Kamehameha wave right at Vegeta. Both energy waves hit dead center between the two. Both Saiyans struggled with trying to make their attack go through the others. Goku started to float up to where the attack was grunting and struggling to keep his attack up. Veins started to bulge on both Saiyans, and Vegeta started to float down to where both energy waves met.
"Wow Vegeta, you've gotten stronger than I thought," Goku added smiling.
Vegeta grinned and put both hands more directly in front of his body.
"Yes I have Kakarot, but I also see that you being dead this long hasn't hampered your strength either. You must have spent quite a while training on the planet of the Kai's." Vegeta responded.
Goku smiled, "That's right Vegeta, so this attack is just one of my techniques."
Vegeta looked on in surprise as Goku vanished along with his energy attack. Vegeta's attack continued on, Vegeta ended it. The wave just went on away from his hands and collided with the ground. A large explosion lighted up the vast emptiness of the Time Chamber and lit up the only standing building. Vegeta turned around astonished when he realized that Goku was behind him and his attack continued and hit Vegeta. The Saiyan tried to power up and yelled as the attack hit him. Goku let the wave go on throwing a large amount of energy into the attack. Goku then let his arms down and stopped his attack. The energy wave hit ground and also exploded, giving off a similar explosion and light show as Vegeta's did. Goku relaxed and his hair went from long and gold to his normal hair. Goku started to float down when he realized that Vegeta was nowhere to be found.
"Oh my gosh, I didn't put too much energy into that attack did I?" Goku said to himself.
Goku quickly searched for Vegeta's energy. Noticing where it was, Goku looked at the place where they came from and made a mental note as to where it was. Then Goku flew to where he felt Vegeta and flew down to him. Goku was surprised to see Vegeta ready to attack and then powered up. But Vegeta had the upper hand on him and let out his attack.
"GATLIC GUN!" Vegeta yelled out.
Vegeta's attack hit Goku directly, and Goku yelled as he started to be absorbed by the attack. Vegeta put every ounce of energy he had into the attack, hoping that he didn't put to much. He didn't want to kill Goku, but he did want to hurt his pride. Vegeta, exhausted, lowered his arms and fell to the ground. His attack stopped and Goku also fell to the ground. Both Saiyans had returned to their normal states, and breathed heavily. Goku finally sat up and looked at Vegeta.
"You know, your last attack took a lot out of me. But it looks like it took a lot out of you too. Why don't we go back and take a rest huh? Besides I'm hungry." Goku said.
Vegeta looked up smiled and laughed.
"You and that infernal hunger Kakarot, I swear that is the only thing that gives you that strength sometimes." Vegeta said stumbling to his feet.
Both the fighters used each other as a crutch and made the long walk back to the building in the middle of nowhere. Before long they had both gotten back. And when they did they heard a clap and a whistle.
"Well, that was a good light show. Oh my god! Are you guys ok?" Massacre said as she rushed to them.
Massacre got between them and helped them to a chair in the Time Chamber building. She then went to the refrigerator and got them both something to drink. She also got them some cold packs that had been in a bin in the 'fridge.
"I could sense you guys from on the lookout and I decided to come and visit you two. I'm glad I did, you guys are a wreck." Massacre said sounding like a mother hen.
Goku then looked up in shock and horror.
"Wait a minute! If you're here then that means that we can't get back out! The Time Chamber can only have two people in it at once!" Goku said in fear.
"Way to go you stupid fucking woman, now we are really in a damn mess!" Vegeta said in anger.
Disregarding his wounds Vegeta got up and powered up, not bothering to go Super Saiyan. He then grabbed Massacre by the collar and pulled her face to his.
"Do you know what you just did woman? You just sentenced us to an eternity in nothingness! I should kill you where you stand!" Vegeta said raising a hand and starting an energy ball.
Goku separated them and then looked at Vegeta.
"Vegeta! Calm down, we can figure a way out of here. The door may be gone, but we also do have Instant Transmission. Maybe I can use it to get us out of here when we are ready to leave." Goku said.
Vegeta looked at him with anger.
"Jesus are you fucking insane Kakarot? Did you forget you have to be able to sense someone else's power level before being able to use Instant Transmission? There isn't anyone that powerful out there that you could latch onto!" Vegeta yelled in Goku's face.
"Now let me kill the bitch like I had planned!" Vegeta said pushing Goku aside.
Massacre then put her arms in front of her and then tried to calm Vegeta down.
"I came in here on my own! I didn't walk through the door! I teleported myself in here, I knew that when I got in here the door would disappear, but I figured that I would just make a portal to get back out. I didn't realize the door wouldn't reappear. I can just take you both with me when you are ready to leave" Massacre explained
Goku frowned at her.
"Massacre I don't think you know the consequences of what you just did. When you came in here, you made it so that the door can never be re-opened. Therefore you made it so that no one can use this Time Chamber again." Goku said.
Massacre looked down and felt sheepish. She cursed herself for not knowing all of the stipulations of her actions by coming into the chamber. She looked at Vegeta who was still powered up and aiming his hand at her. Massacre then got angry at Vegeta and got into his face pulling his hand down.
"Look asshole, if it weren't for me you wouldn't know that the goddamned androids are fighting each other, we think they are training. And if that is the truth, then you guys have to work hard in here for the next two days." Massacre screamed.
Vegeta looked at her stunned and then got pissed.
"How do you know all this woman? Explain right now!" Vegeta demanded.
Massacre looked at him, then turned to Goku who looked very stressed out.
"Because I have already been to the lookout and talked to Piccolo. He has been watching them from the lookout. He is getting very worried, and wanted me to tell you guys what was going on." Massacre said as she sat down.
Goku sat down and started to scratch his head.
Vegeta relaxed and powered down. He sat down and rubbed his chin, trying to figure out what they should do.
